When I published this piece three days ago, I hoped it might reach a few thousand people. A million of you read it. Ministers, ambassadors, journalists, students, traders in Karachi, doctors in Chicago, teachers in Lahore, accountants in London. Thank you for reading it, sharing it, arguing about it, and most of all for seeing yourselves in it. Pakistan deserved a proper introduction to the world. You made sure it got one.

I told @raghavanreports that Iran is today led by a leadership, particularly in IRGC, who didn’t believe that Khamenei’s restraint, and the restraints of the previous generation of IRGC leaders that Israel eliminated, actually protected Iran. They think Khamenei was wrong, and that his stance invited the current aggression that they are facing. They’re more willing to take risks. They’re willing to do things that, previously, wouldn’t have been done, and basically saying, “You escalate, we escalate, or we escalate even more....They are more dangerous, but at the same time we’re seeing they’re not averse to talking. And maybe even more willing to talk than Khamenei who had a strategy of no talking and no war. The new leadership is basically saying, we’re not afraid of war, but we’re also not afraid of talking.

PRESS SEC on U.S.-Iran negotiations: The Pakistanis have been incredible mediators and we really appreciate their friendship and efforts to bring this deal to a close. 

The President feels it's important to continue to streamline this communication through the Pakistanis.

[Jennifer Jacobs @JenniferJJacobs]

After direct talks with Iran, JD Vance said US "made very clear what our red lines are," and "what things we're willing to accommodate them on."
"We leave here with a very simple proposal, a method of understanding that is our final and best offer."
"I won't go into all the details, because I don't want to negotiate in public after we negotiated for 21 hours in private, but the simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon."
@VP said the US negotiators here in Islamabad spoke with President Trump half dozen times in 21 hours of intense effort, as well as Centcom's Admiral Cooper, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Scott Bessent and entire national security team.

@MaryamNSharif Excellent summary. More Electric buses and Mass transit is the future. Lahore must prioritize other lines too.

[Arfan Choudhary @Muhamma04818452]

@umairjav @thelahorewala @MominISheikh Unfortunately these mass transit systems were criticized by PTI and their allies in the Media and institutions at that time. Unfortunately, so-called leftist also staged protests against the orange line and Metro bus project.

The Pan-Africanist approach is the best antidote to Colonial cartography.

[All-African People's Revolutionary Party (A-APRP) @AAPRP]

84 years ago today in Trinidad was born an African given the name Stokely Carmichael, who would later become Kwame Ture. He would lead a true organiser's life. A staunch Pan-Africanist and servant of the African masses, Kwame Ture organised for SNCC (Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee), BPP (Black Panther Party), A-APRP (All African People’s Revolutionary Party) and PDG-RDA (Democratic Party of Guinea)!

The real dynamics behind ceasefire between US, Israel and Iran.
All three countries are facing acute economic recession.
The whole Western capitalism is suffering economic shocks from the conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine and they can't afford another theatre.

@AmmarRashidT Seek Truth from Facts. Mao Zedong
To seek truth from facts means to proceed from reality in everything, to test truth through practice, and to be guided by objective conditions, not subjective wishes.
The left needs to understand this for taking position in each circumstances.
